She recorded an obscure album of piano solos, and in 1954, the Blue Stars hit the national charts with a French version of "Lullaby of Birdland."

Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Verve Jazz Masters 51, Blossom Dearie, CD Long an icon among jazz musicians and fans alike, this album samples tunes from the six albums Blossom Dearie made for Norman Granz' Verve label during the period 1956 to 1960. Dearie doesn't have a particularly big voice, but, like a will-o-wisp, she skirts through her material in a whispery, smoky tone that demands and receives attention from her audience, whether that audience be in a club or concert, or listening to one of her many albums. The one cut with an orchestra, led by Russ Garcia, confirms that Dearie, with her light voice, is more effective with a small group. music.barnesandnoble.com /search/product.asp?userid=dI3B6dg9Bj&EAN=731452990624&ITM=5   (452 words)

Blossom Dearie - Blossom Dearie Sings Comden And Green - Verve Records Since the 1950s, when Variety described her as "the whispery-styled jazz fave with chi-chi Gothamites," Blossom Dearie has been recognized as one of the great voices in jazz.

On this, the fourth of her six Verve albums, she applied her distinctively low-key touch to the equally distinctive catalog of the Broadway and Hollywood lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green. www.vervemusicgroup.com /product.aspx?ob=prd&src=list&pid=10619   (182 words)

Janet Seidel's Blossom Dearie page Stephane Grapelli was the headliner but I was there to hear Blossom Dearie: known to me from listening to the lamented 'Music to Midnight' on the ABC when cramming for Matriculation. Among my earliest jazz record purchases was 'Blossom Dearie sings' an album of originals: delightfully witty songs which seemed like an extension of her intimate style of singing. It may seem like a gentile version of heaven but from the moment she walked onto the stage (carrying her handbag), I was captivated: A middle aged woman sitting naturally at the piano using a voice that, without a microphone, wouldn't carry further than the second row. home.iprimus.com.au /janetseidel/blossom.html   (461 words)
